So Pippa had to learn a tough lesson this week: When your sister is married to a Prince - the past definately does not stay in the past. Especially when semi/nude/topless photos are swirling around the interweb.

A friend of the family sold a picture of her topless. In the photo, she’s fixing her bikini top on a yacht during a family vacation. Prince William seems to be right beside her. When I first saw it, I thought it might be Kate Middleton but sources say it’s Pippa!

In an interview with X17Online, the price of a photo of this magnitude is around the $25k range:

“My best guess would be $25,000. I really don’t think those ended up fetching as high a price as they could have – just from what I see from the way they were published. I first saw the pictures online, meaning the agency wasn’t able to make an exclusive sale to a magazine. At the end of the day, totaling all worldwide licensing, I’d say these photos brought in less than $100,000, in part because the agency representing the photographer didn’t strategize properly. A big exclusive sale to a UK publication first, before selling them ‘all around,’ would have doubled their take.”
